Dodgers Sign Mike MacDougal

The Dodgers announce that they signed right-hander Mike MacDougal to one-year deal that includes a club option for 2013. The contract is worth $1MM, according to MLB.com's Ken Gurnick. Hendricks Sports represents the 34-year-old right-hander.

MacDougal spent the 2011 season with the Dodgers and posted a 2.05 ERA with 6.5 K/9, 4.5 BB/9 and a 60.9% ground ball rate in 57 innings. He ranked tenth among MLB pitchers in ground ball rate last year (minimum 50 innings). The 11-year veteran has a career ERA of 3.94 with 7.4 K/9 and 4.8 BB/9.

didn’t get the Dodger rate of 4.5 million for barely major league players (Juan Rivera and Mark Ellis)
At least Ellis can field… and McDougal is sometimes pretty good… Juan Rivera… Maybe he’s a nice guy

it makes more sense than some of the other signings, but don’t expect too much fans. Colletti, and I’m not his biggest fan, doesn’t have a lot to work with. They have a lame duck owner whose only interest is , and probably always was, how much money he can take out of the team. Whoop it up Dodger haters, for the glory days will return and your teams ( giants, Padres) will again sink into the second division. MacDonald did a respectable job this year and at the price, is a worth while gamble.
